I am absolutely in love with this color for summer. That gorgeous turquoise green just reminds me of the beach, namely my most favorite place on Earth: the Florida Keys. This portfolio-style clutch from Asos would just cheer up any outfit, hell it would cheer me up everytime I looked at it! Unfortunately, it comes with a hefty price tag, but comfort yourself in knowing that Asos does not charge any shipping rates! Hey, as a shopaholic you always have to find the silver linings!
So, as you all know, my birthday is slowly creeping up. My hubby is planning a surprise outing for me next Saturday to celebrate, and I am both nervous and excited. I love being surprised, but at the same time am a control freak, so I’ve been trying my best to play this balancing game since he told me the date. I don’t know where we are going or who will be there – the only thing I have been told is that it is an all day affair, and that I should dress casual and bring a bikini (& a large appetite). Needless to say, outfit has already been planned and my brain has been swimming with all the possibilities.
My brain has also been working in overdrive selecting must-have items for my birthday wishlist, and for those of you that are wondering what you can get me, my pinboards on Pinterest are your one stop gift idea shops. I spend more time than I’d like to admit compiling photos and ideas on that site, so it’s a pretty comprehensive guide to anything I may be lusting over at the moment.
::beeeeeep::
And this has been my birthday gift public service announcement. Carry on. 😉
Apparently I am missing out on something serious by not watching FX’s Sons of Anarchy. I have several friends that are always raving about it on the Facebooks, but I figured it was some dude-like show that I wouldn’t get into (cue Spartacus – it’s just so ridiculous), being about an outlaw motorcycle club and all. That was, until one of those friends posted the photo above, and I saw exactly what I was missing: Charlie Hunnam. Are you joking me with this guy? Not only does he look like that, but he’s also British (that gives him quite a few more points in my book) – something like that comes packaged with an English accent? Definitely not fair. I see my Netflix working in overdrive in the very near future to catch up with all seasons. Anyone care to join?
So back a couple of weeks ago, I posted about some summer essentials that I was hoping to find while in Chicago shopping at H&M. Unfortunately, I was surprised to see that they didn’t have too many summery options (where were their shorts? fun beach hats?), I was able to score a couple. And since I promised to share with all of you upon my return, here are my recent additions to my summer wardrobe:
I found a fun and flirty bikini at…Target! I loved the color combo and the ruffles! I had been searching for an affordable ruffled bikini ever since first setting eyes on this beauty from Asos. Happy to report that it is officially my birthday bikini – 30 doesn’t look so bad in this little number!
